About

Helen Youn

I am a professional organizer who specializes in the KonMari Method™. As a Certified KonMari Consultant, I guide and support people through this life-changing journey while transforming their homes in the process. I also love teaching through workshops and speaking at events.

I was born in Taiwan, moved to Toronto with my family when I was 9 years old and eventually found my way to Calgary in 2012, where I currently live with my husband, David, and our adorable son, Emerson. I run on matcha lattes, macarons and can often be seen exploring cute cafes around the city.

Each KonMari Tidying Lesson is an in-home organizing session in your home where we work collaborative together using the principles of the KonMari Method™. These lessons will provide the guidance and support you need to transform your home into a space of joy and serenity, one KonMari category at a time, following the order of: Clothes, Books, Papers, Komono (miscellaneous) and Sentimental Items. First we focus on identifying and keeping only the items that sparks joy for you, then we work on storing and organizing everything so it's easy for you to access and maintain to create your ideal living space. As this process is highly personalized, there are various packages available and designed based on the level of support you need to complete your home transformation.

Helen is amazing and genuinely cares about her clients. She helped me immensely to downsize my wardrobe and only keep the items that spark joy. She is patient and kind and I would recommend her unique and life changing services!

Helen was and amazing help! She is a kind and easy-to-talk-to guide that I would highly recommend to anyone wishing their lives were de-cluttered. We went through everything we needed to in 1 session and I was able to complete the rest on my own.

Working with Helen in decluttering my closet was an awesome journey that started when I realize that I was in need of a professional assitance to face my closet. She is very knowledgeable and super kind, the later is an essential asset to deal with the emotions that come with the process. i highly recommend her to joint in your decluttering journey.

Helen is a good friend who didn't make me feel self-conscious of embarassed to show her such a rarely seen side of myself. Her balanced level of professionalism put me at ease and I was at ease and felt no pressure during our entire session. Helen really helped me jump over the hurdle of letting things go, and it soon became easier than I had initially expected! With Helen's help, I can now put to use some of those methods of Konmari that pertain to myself.

She is extremely approachable, non-judgmental and thorough with her process. What I appreciated most is that we started the session with 'what do you want to have more time to do at home?" A question that is often overlooked when someone sees a tidy home but essential in setting yourself up for success so the tidying up sticks! 10/10, would highly recommend. Thanks for everything Helen!

Helen was so energetic and friendly; after a couple hours, it was like Marie Kondo herself had been in my home. Helen approaches her work with passion, does not judge, and has a practical, straightforward approach that made the tidying process so simple and quick.

Helen did such a great job in helping me clear out my house! She is full of great organizational ideas, and provided much-needed motivation and guidance. The KonMari method is a deliberate, thorough house cleanse, which really causes you to examine your life and whether you're living in a way that truly 'sparks joy,' or if you are holding on to the past. I think it's better than therapy!
